Dunno. I was merely trying to keep things honest, since what was
communicated (whether intended or not) was that a C3 isn't modern,
and is akin to a Pentium, which it isn't.
I've got a VIA C3 Samuel myself, and it is fine for what it is, which
is a low-power clone of the Pentium-MMX in terms of capabilities; the
newer C3 Nehemiah is roughly comparable to a P2, plus SSE and the
extra AES/RNG crypto stuff. Look at dmesg or cpuid and compare CPU
features.
I'm pretty familiar with C3 and C7 chips.
I wouldn't compare performance of a CPU based on CPU features.
